    Suck my nut it’s genocide and I don’t care how much you say it isn’t.

    We aren’t arguing an opinion. It’s a fact.

    “Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. Genocide is directed against the national group as an entity, and the actions involved are directed against individuals, not in their individual capacity, but as members of the national group”

            You’re someone who literally doesn’t know what lingua franca is.

            This is what you little cucks cry about all the time America has done to indigenous folk. But when China does it, it’s a lingua franca.

            Fucking idiot

              Reducing the reservations and residential schools to speaking English is minimising the genocide commited against Native Americans: might I suggest that you’re projecting when you throw around phrases like “doesn’t know” and “fucking idiot”?

                Might I suggest you learn some fuckin manners when being educated?

                Kill the Indian, save the man. Is a form of genocide and is often cited as an example of quiet genocides that are meant to erase culture.

                Within 70 years Tibet decided to abandon their cultural language?

                That’s erasure you fucking idiot.
